Mathieu VILLEGAS <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: fdl
Other License: 
Package: open panorama file format
System name: openpanorama
Type: non-GNU

Description:
The project is a documentation project.
The Goal of this project is to describe an Open file format for panoramic 
imaging based on XML.
The main work is to determine all data need to describe all sort of panoramas, 
and create an XML schemas and a DTD.
At the end, the goal is to be able to export any proprietary file format (like 
QTVR for example) to this open file format without a loss of data or quality.
This is not a new VRML format, but a XML specification dedicated to panoramic 
imaging and publishing.
At this time, five companies which work in panoramic imaging agree to work on 
this project and to support it. I hope most of the users of free (GPL) 
panoramic imaging software will be happy when they will know that such project 
is starting, and their contribution will be very relevant. I stand for an 
official web site for this project to start talking about it to independent 
developers and users concerned by panoramic imaging.
All documentations (so all files of the project) will be under GNU FDL.

I\'ve start working on it, but no specification is available online at this 
time. I stand to have more specifications and an official project web page to 
put it online and ask for more help.

Other Comments:
The word open in openpanorama means that this is an open file format. There is 
relation with open source.
If you think this a problem, I can try to find an other one. (but freepanorama 
is not really good)
